GAINESVILLE -- Florida coach Will Muschamp said during Wednesday's SEC media teleconference that quarterback Jeff Driskel, who missed last week's game with a sprained ankle, should start Saturday's game at Florida State.

"He would at this time,'' Muschamp said. "Obviously we've still got a couple of more days of practice, but he looked good enough to me that he'll be fine. And Jacoby (Brissett) looks good as well. So we'll go from there, but right now Jeff looks good."

Jacoby Brissett started last week's 23-0 win against Jacksonville State, completing 14 of 22 passes for 154 yards. But offensive coordinator Brent Pease made it clear on Tuesday that Driskel is the Gators' No. 1 quarterback and would play if healthy.

Muschamp is now convinced Driskel should be healthy enough after going out in the third quarter of the 27-20 win against Louisiana two weeks ago.

"He looked fine. We did everything we normally do,'' Muschamp said. "There was nothing limited within the package. What we did with him is the way we normally prepare for any game. Again, he looked very good (Tuesday). Unless something unheard of happens in practice (Wednesday) or (Thursday) he ought to be ready to go Saturday.''
